You need to use bent butts for the swivels to work properly.

We run 4 lee's, and 1 CJ - the CJ is a little longer than the Lee's.
If you have a standard 0 degree holder and want to convert it to a swivel, there are a few companies that sell a swivel insert that you can drop down.

Fishermans outfitter and CMS both sell them, and I'm sure most over other offshore shop does as well.

Ditto - what Keeperreaper said about backing plates. Breaking loose a plate on a fish sucks.
